Central pontine myelinolysis patients coma how to deal with

Central pontine myelinolysis is a very serious disease in neurology. It is often seen in patients with chronic alcoholism, severe infection after uremic dialysis, and hyponatremia corrected too quickly. Its clinical characteristics are sudden quadriplegia, speech dysfunction, drinking cough, dysphagia, eyeball gaze, and nystagmus. Patients often show confusion, lethargy, and coma. When the patient is unconscious due to this disease, the patient's respiratory tract should be kept unobstructed, blood pressure, temperature, respiration, pulse, etc. should be monitored, ECG monitoring should be carried out, and oxygen should be given to the patient. At the same time, nutritional nerve, circulation improvement, corticosteroids, immunoglobulin and other symptomatic support treatments should be given. The prognosis after the occurrence of this disease is extremely poor, and even if timely and active treatment is given, the condition will still worsen and eventually die.
